It was in November of 19-19 that the tower, built with a J'Mi.OOO contribution from Ralph 0. Muel ler of Cleveland, 0., v-as formal- ! ly dedicated and that the bells were first played. Since then the 84-foot high In diana limestone structure, located between Morrill and Bessey rtalls on the mall between the coliseum and love Memorial Library, has become a campus landmark. j And the periodic ringing of its bells before the end of classes and, on the hour has become a normal daily occorrance in every ! University student's life. The bells play a variety of songs ! from "Loch Lomond" and "Brother John" to Beethoven's 'Ninth Symphony." Also, special concerts of Nebraska songs are; played before University football j games, and religious hymns are! often featured on Sundays. ' Mueller, whose donation enabled the tower's construction, graduated from the University with the class of 1898 and eventually became1 i head of his own electrical firm in Cleveland.
